Some go back into the 1700's and some up to the 1900's. There is an Alpabetical listing that you can go into, so that you don't have to view all the files. If you don't have a tiff viewer they have a generic one you can down load. I went in and retrieved the files I wanted, saved them disk, then went into the program I have already on my computer to view them in. I was able to retrieve the actual document. It took a little figuring out, but once I did it, it was great. Lists the actual Land they recieved. Hope this helps someone out. ==== SW_VA Mailing List ==== #5 It is YOUR responsibility to know how to SUBSCRIBE & UNSUBSCRIBE. It is done by computer.
